Office 4-29-10

Michael: When I’m in the room with her I just want to kiss her!
Kevin: Now you know how I feel with that big jar of M&Ms by my desk.
Andy: Why don’t you just move the M&Ms?
Kevin: WHY DON’T YOU JUST SHUT UP?

Some good lines in this episode, but I still don’t get the Svengali thing Michael has with attractive, intelligent women. And Pam was acting really weird, but she does have a strong matchmaker streak in her (unless it involves her mother).

I enjoyed the episode quite a bit. Why does that woman like Michael? Well, people like people. I don’t think that’s the point. The point is how does Michael react, and the way he reacted was both in-character and thoroughly entertaining.

The minority executive bit was quite fun as well.

Dwight: You could be the Indian Bill Gates! You could be the Indian Ted Turner!
Kelly: I could be the Indian Julia Roberts!
Dwight: But that’s not…she’s not…

I liked that exchange.

I liked Kelly wearing the bindi at her interview. I don’t even think she had it in the right spot.

“Yes, it does offend me that you’re asking.”

liked the episode, however, i don’t feel right unless i take weekly potshots at the Office so…

-why does michael always get the girl? isn’t dwight’s tryst infinitely more interesting?
-did not like the exchange the OP posted. Kevin is just fat. it’s insulting to insinuate that he can only relate to sex through eating. he had a fiance. he had a pretty good thing going with the homely redhead from the v-day mixer. imo he’s a lot more sexually experienced than Michael.
-phylis is just unbelievably trashy now. keyword: unbelievably. it’s no fun anymore when a quirk becomes a defining feature. go back to the bitchy. it’s more believable.
-less new guy, more toby.
-good to see ryan back to being a normal person instead of a hypersexual douche. wait, not a complaint. what?

“Can you name an Indian CEO?”
“I can’ t name any CEO”

Did you see the web clip posted last week about him making his move on Erin?

I thought it was pretty obvious that Donna was attracted to Michael … I’m surprised no one suggested that he might have a chance with her if he pursued it in a more appropriate venue.

And I feel compelled to add that Donna (played by Amy Pietz) is by far the hottest woman ever to have appeared on this show, from a purely physical attraction point of view, way past Pam or Holly or Jan or anyone else.

I’d probably go with Rashida Jones for hottest chick ever to appear on The Office.

Rashida Jones doesn’t do it for me at all.

Agreed.

I actually found her slightly more attractive as “Wendy Wheelchair” on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Is that weird?

No way, Amy Adams was one of Jims girlfriends in the early seasons. She is by far the hottest, Holly was hotter than Donna also.

I like Erin. :slight_smile:

You guys still haven’t knocked down Donna. I laugh at your Amy Adamses and Hollys! Ha ha!

I don’t think attractive women being into Michael, initially, is that far-fetched. Michael is fairly attractive and has what on paper is a good career. I don’t think it’s surprising that a few women would dismiss his initial goofiness in favor of what appear to be good traits.

But after a while, Michael predictably spoils things by being a socially maladjusted creepy weirdo. The only relationship that “worked out” was Jan and she turned out to be crazier than he is.

I liked the Kelly/Dwight plot this week. It was reminiscent of the types of stories the show did when it was actually good - a goofy, awkward take on actual office politics.

Kelly and Dwight’s initial exchange was hilarious. I usually find Kelly annoying but she was great this episode. I loved how everyone was afraid of her.

Litigation value this week: $250,000. Ouch!
